Redoing your maps Terrain(Advanced)

[dab]

How to:

Change your maps Tileset with Triggers, and making people vote about which terrain type they want.

Notice: This will NOT affect your walls, so choose something that is color neutral to the terrain types you want.

1. Setting up the variables

2. Creating our dialog

3. Creating the Triggers

1:

This is only nessesary if you want player to vote about your tileset. If this is not your plan, skip this tutorial. The variables is:
gametype(Dialog Button, array: 3(depends on, how many chooseable terrains you want + 1 for "No Changes"))
GameTypeDiablog(Dialog, array: 1-2(depending if you want a "yes/no" or just pure voting))
VoteTerrainVotes(Interger, array: 3(still depending on how many terrains you want + 1 for "No Changes"))
VoteTerrainTimer(Timer)
That's the variables. Now, the Dialog.

2:

We start off by creating a trigger which looks like this:

• Events - Map Initialization or Elapsed game time is 0.50 seconds
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Dialog - Create a button for GameTypeDialog[1] labelled Terrain: Desert
  • Set gametype[1] = (Last created Dialog Button)
  • Dialog - Create a button for GameTypeDialog[1] labelled Terrain: Snow
  • Set gametype[2] = (Last created Dialog Button)
  • Dialog - Create a button for GameTypeDialog[1] labelled Terrain: Lava
  • Set gametype[3] = (Last created Dialog Button)
  • Dialog - Create a button for GameTypeDialog[1] labelled No Changes
  • Set gametype[0] = (Last created Dialog Button)
  • Wait 0.20 seconds
  • Game - Display to (All Players) the text: You now have 15 seconds to vote
  • Countdown Timer - Start VoteTerrainTimer as a One-Shot timer that will expire in 15 seconds
  • Player Group - Pick every player in (All Players) and do (Actions)
    • Loop -
      • Dialog - Show GameTypeDialog[1] for (Picked Player)

Now, our second Trigger named VoteTerrainVotes

3:

This is the final triggers. Be patient as you read, because THIS is some of a large load.

• Events
  • A button is clicked for GameTypeDialog[1]
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If(All Conditions are true) then do(Then actions) else do (Else actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Clicked dialog Button) Equal to gametype[1]
    • Then - Actions
      • Set VoteTerrainVotes[1] = (VoteTerrainVotes[1] + 1)
    • Else - Actions
      • If(All Conditions are true) then do(Then actions) else do (Else actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Clicked dialog Button) Equal to gametype[2]
    • Then - Actions
      • Set VoteTerrainVotes[2] = (VoteTerrainVotes[2] + 1)
    • Else - Actions
      • If(All Conditions are true) then do(Then actions) else do (Else actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Clicked dialog Button) Equal to gametype[3]
    • Then - Actions
      • Set VoteTerrainVotes[3] = (VoteTerrainVotes[3] + 1)
    • Else - Actions
      • If(All Conditions are true) then do(Then actions) else do (Else actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Clicked dialog Button) Equal to gametype[0]
    • Then - Actions
      • Set VoteTerrainVotes[0] = (VoteTerrainVotes[0] + 1)
    • Else - Actions

That counts the votes for each Terrain type. Now, to the trigger which actually changes the tileset:

• Events
  • Time - VoteTerrainTimer expires
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If(All Conditions are true) then do(Then actions) else do (Else actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • And - All (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • VoteTerrainVotes[1] Greater than VoteTerrainVotes[2]
          • VoteTerrainVotes[1] Greater than VoteTerrainVotes[3]
          • VoteTerrainVotes[1] Greater than VoteTerrainVotes[0]
      • Then - Actions
        • Enviroment - Change terrain type at (Center of (Region centered at (Center of (Playable Map) with size (10000000000.00, 10000000000.00) to Barrens - Dirt usng variation -1 in a area of size 10000000000 and shape Square
        • Game - Display to (All Players) the text: Terrain has been changed to Terrain: Desert
      • Else - Actions
        • If(All Conditions are true) then do(Then actions) else do (Else actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • And - All (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • VoteTerrainVotes[2] Greater than VoteTerrainVotes[1]
          • VoteTerrainVotes[2] Greater than VoteTerrainVotes[3]
          • VoteTerrainVotes[2] Greater than VoteTerrainVotes[0]
      • Then - Actions
        • Enviroment - Change terrain type at (Center of (Region centered at (Center of (Playable Map) with size (10000000000.00, 10000000000.00) to Northrend - Snow usng variation -1 in a area of size 10000000000 and shape Square
        • Game - Display to (All Players) the text: Terrain has been changed to Terrain: Snow
      • Else - Actions
        • If(All Conditions are true) then do(Then actions) else do (Else actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • And - All (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • VoteTerrainVotes[3] Greater than VoteTerrainVotes[1]
          • VoteTerrainVotes[3] Greater than VoteTerrainVotes[2]
          • VoteTerrainVotes[3] Greater than VoteTerrainVotes[0]
      • Then - Actions
        • Enviroment - Change terrain type at (Center of (Region centered at (Center of (Playable Map) with size (10000000000.00, 10000000000.00) to Dungeon - Lava Cracks usng variation -1 in a area of size 10000000000 and shape Square
        • Game - Display to (All Players) the text: Terrain has been changed to Terrain: Lava
      • Else - Actions
        • If(All Conditions are true) then do(Then actions) else do (Else actions)

• If - Conditions
  • And - All (Conditions) are true
    • Conditions
      • VoteTerrainVotes[0] Greater than VoteTerrainVotes[1]
      • VoteTerrainVotes[0] Greater than VoteTerrainVotes[2]
      • VoteTerrainVotes[0] Greater than VoteTerrainVotes[3]
  • Then - Actions
    • Game - Display to (All Players) the text: Terrain has not been changed.
  • Else - Actions
    • Bug! OMFG!

Hope you can use it ^^

Sry, but i was on a hurry. Posted the whole tutorial now Hope you can use it

 

[Septimus]

Read the rules before you start posting tutorial.

And this just change the tile set.

 

[dab]

I.. did?

First, i did read the rules, and i dont see how this should be offending.

And second, yeah, its a replacement of tileset, tho, i've experienced people who dident know how to do this by trigger.

EDIT: I changed the title, and the description

 

[Pyritie]

I don't see how this could be very useful at all.

 

[Eleandor]

There's already plenty of tutorials on voting systems. The only addition here is 1 action that changes the terraintype, IMO even a useless action because it doesn't even have the slightest variation on terraintype.

Closed.

Well, nvm, im just asking to get this DELETED.
Thank you
